I went to "Sakura" because I wanted to eat Yoshino kuzu kuzukiri. It's a traditional Japanese cafe about a 10-minute walk from Nara Station. I took off my shoes and entered the tatami room. When I sat down, there was a courtyard in front of me, a relaxing space. I immediately ordered the kuzukiri I was looking for. Hon-kuzu, which is extracted from the kudzu root of Yoshino kudzu, is highly rare, and this restaurant uses 100% of it. In order to serve freshly made kuzukiri, they make it by hand after ordering. The kuzukiri, which was brought to me with the cool sound of ice clinking, was a beautiful transparent color. I first tried one as it was, and it was smooth and smooth. It was also chewy and elastic. If you add brown sugar syrup to it, it has a refined sweetness and is even more delicious♡ As I slowly ate it while taking photos, the kudzu turned white and the texture changed. If you don't eat it quickly, the flavor will deteriorate. #whistletrip #Naratrip #Naracafe #Nara #Naratrip #Naradate #Naraprefecture #Narasightseeing #Kansaitrip #Kansaisweets #Japanesesweets #Japanesesweets

This is definitely worth a visit if you are in Nara after visiting the obvious temples and shrines. Take some time to wander the narrow streets and go in a few of the quaint shops and cafés to have sweet delicacies and tea.. Also a nice covered shopping area that is full of interesting shops but not crowded like the larger shopping areas in Osaka and Tokyo. Easily accessible from the yellow loop bus that takes you to all of the main temple sites. Naramachi is a great place to wander and get lost for a while. Japan can be a series of one stop after another and sometimes it is nice to just wander, get a little lost and find some hidden sites. Naramachi is perfect for this. #givethanks #givethanks

Naramachi is an old commercial town with a long history in Nara. There are many townhouses in Naramachi, which are rich in Edo period characteristics. Most of them have been transformed into museums, fashionable craft shops, unique coffee shops☕️ and Japanese desserts🍧 shops. In Naramachi, you can also find the world cultural heritage Gango-ji Temple, which is one of the seven major temples in Nara. It retains the architectural features of the Nara period (8th century). The roof of the main hall, Gokuraku-do, is paved with tiles and has a history of more than 1,300 years. Naramachi is not very large, you can wander around without following a map, and there will be many surprises. When I went there, I went to the Naramachi Story Museum, which happened to have a mini handmade exhibition, and bought a pendant made by a local old lady👵🏻. I also went to the Naramachi Toy Museum to play with ancient toys🪀. I also went to Nigiwai House to learn about the traditional home life in the past. If you have a day to stay in Nara, you can play with the deer in the morning and go to Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. For lunch, try Nara's specialty Kamameshi. After lunch, you can stroll around Naramachi. ——— #奈良町 #元兴寺 #奈良町玩具館 #奈良町物语館 #奈良 #奈良景点 #奈良旅行 #奈良旅行 #日本旅行 #日本自由行 #日本 #注册六月酒店试睡人2025

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip [Gangoji Temple] This temple is registered as a World Heritage Site as one of the cultural assets of the ancient city of Nara. It is located in the center of Naramachi, and was newly built and moved from Hokkoji Temple (Asukadera Temple), Japan's first full-scale temple, when the capital was moved to Heijo-kyo. The entrance to Gangoji Temple is along Naramachi Street. During the Nara period, it was a large temple on par with Todaiji Temple, and most of Naramachi was once the grounds of Gangoji Temple. National Treasure: Gokurakudo (Gokurakubo Main Hall and Mandala Hall) Holy place where Pure Land Buddhism originated in Nara National Treasure: Zen Room Important Cultural Property: East Gate Amazingly, tiles from the Asuka period 1,400 years ago remain on part of the roof of the main hall and Zen room. Other treasures owned by Gangoji Temple are on display at the Horinkan, where you can view the National Treasure "Five-story Small Pagoda" and precious Buddha statues designated as Important Cultural Properties from up close. You'll also be amazed by the stone towers neatly arranged in the temple grounds, known as Uzuda. The exterior is not flashy or luxurious, but the temple is solemn and historic, with many precious gods and Buddhas, and many things to see, such as the five-story small pagoda. If it had been morning, the lotus flowers in Gokurakudo would have been beautiful☆ Photography was prohibited inside. Admission fee: 500 yen [Gangoji Temple] Address: 11 Nakanoin-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture #Nara Tourism #Gangoji Temple

I just finished a five-day, four-night trip to Osaka and Nara, and my mind is full of images of deer bowing and cute dogs on the streets. This city is full of surprises, and I can't help but want to rush in again immediately! A super detailed itinerary and cute moments are organized, add them to your travel list now✨ 🌟 Highlights of the trip: A Tale of Two Cities: Osaka and Nara Day 1: First experience in Osaka, Shinsaibashi After arriving, head straight to Shinsaibashi! The saleslady at the drugstore was super friendly. From time to time, I saw Shiba Inus wearing kimonos and walking on a leash on the road. In the evening, I watched the sunset at Rong Bridge. The riverside was full of locals and their pets. The Japanese atmosphere was right at its peak! I recommend trying "Ichiran Ramen". There is a "dog waiting area" at the door, which is so considerate~ Day 2: History meets cute pets I checked in at Osaka Castle Park in the morning. The castle tower was magnificent, and I was unexpectedly attracted by the "baby squirrels" in the trees! Buy a bag of nuts (available in the park) and you'll get a bunch of them. It's so soothing to watch them run up the tree with their food in their arms. In the afternoon, we will go to Nara! As soon as we got off the bus, we were surrounded by deer. Remember to hide the deer senbei in your bag and walk to the foot of Mt. Wakakusa to feed them. The deer here are more gentle. We met a "polite deer" who nodded gently after eating. My heart melted. Day 3: Universal Studios x Street Pet Easter Eggs A must-see in the Harry Potter area! Next to the staff in wizard robes, there is a "magic poodle" - with a Hogwarts scarf hanging around its neck, sitting next to it and letting people take pictures📸In the evening, I watched the night view of Umeda Sky Building and encountered a group of stray cats in the square downstairs. I bought a can of cat food at the convenience store and got it to rub against my legs~ Day 4: Tennoji Zoo·Puppy Interaction Experience Set aside a day specifically for the zoo! It was super therapeutic to watch Taobang chewing bamboo in the Panda House. The most surprising thing was the "Puppy Therapy Area" ~ the staff brought out several adopted dogs, one of which, Mix, wagged its tail when it saw people, and would even kick its hind legs and spin around when excited. 🥰 It was so touching to be able to get adoption information on site! #Osaka Itinerary

I didn't expect Nara to be so surprising! This quiet and comfortable town hides so much cuteness. According to the Shinto tradition, deer are regarded as messengers of gods and have been carefully protected for thousands of years. Those who harm them will face severe punishment. The deer here are not afraid of strangers at all. They always approach people at a slow pace, and may even nod slightly and look at you with moist eyes. But if you don't give them deer biscuits, they will sometimes "run wild" 😂 🚍Osaka→Nara From Kintetsu Namba Station, take the regular train to Kintetsu Nara Station. It costs 680 yen/40 minutes, and the limited express train costs 1,300 yen/33 minutes. ✅After arriving at the station, store your luggage first (large suitcase 900 yen/day), walk 15 minutes to Nara Park, and taste mochi on the way. 🌿Gameplay recommendation 📍Nara-cho: Wander through the old streets and alleys to experience the slow life of Nara. 📍Nara Park: This open park is a great place to feed deer🦌 Remember to be careful not to be surrounded by deer! 📍Todaiji Temple (600 yen, 7:30-17:30): It houses the world's largest wooden Buddha hall. Climbing up to the Nigatsudo Hall, you can get a panoramic view of Nara. The stone lanterns next to the stairs are a sacred place for filming. 📍Kasuga Taisha Shrine (500 yen, 6:30-17:30): Deer can be seen everywhere along the way, and you can take a break at the Mizutani Tea House at the end. 📍Wakakusa Mountain: It takes 15 minutes to reach Ichijenseme, and the whole round trip takes about 1 hour. It takes 30 minutes to walk down the mountain to return to the Kintetsu Station. 🚡Hidden gameplay: Ikoma Mountain Cat Cat Cable Car From Kintetsu Nara Station to Ikoma Station (20 minutes), then walk to Torii-mae Station to take the cable car (runs from 10:00 to 19:00 on weekends, closed on Thursdays). It is recommended to take the "Sunset Flyer" (500 yen) in the evening. The park will close later on October 14th. 💡Tips: Remember to bring wrapping paper when feeding the deer, as the deer can smell the scent; it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes when going to Wakakusa Mountain; if time is tight, you can give priority to the route of Nara Park → Todaiji Temple → Kasuga Taisha Shrine. #Osaka Itinerary

Pack layers for significant temperature differences between morning and evening Between cherry blossom tea and washi souvenirs in your suitcase, there's a hand-drawn cherry blossom map from the teahouse grandmother. Those circled secret spots are her 70 years of spring memories. Nara's most precious treasure isn't the cherry blossoms themselves, but these warm encounters - just like the ancient capital always keeps a cup of tea warm for you.

#fallcolors My recent trip to Nara during the fall season was nothing short of magical. As the leaves transformed into a vibrant tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, the city's serene landscapes became even more captivating. I started my journey at Nara Park, where the iconic free-roaming deer greeted me. The cool autumn air added a refreshing touch as I wandered among the ancient trees, their foliage bursting with color. The sight of deer munching on fallen leaves created a picturesque scene. Visiting Todai-ji Temple was a highlight. The Great Buddha Hall stood majestically against the backdrop of autumn leaves, and I took my time to soak in its grandeur. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the fall colors added a warm glow to the surroundings. A stroll through the historic streets of Naramachi revealed traditional wooden houses, now home to charming shops and tea houses. I enjoyed a cup of matcha while taking in the seasonal decor that celebrated the harvest. In the evening, I explored the lantern-lit paths of Kasuga-taisha Shrine, where the soft glow added a mystical quality to the surroundings. The contrast of the shrine's ancient structures with the vibrant foliage was breathtaking. Nara in the fall offered a perfect blend of culture, nature, and tranquility. The experience left me with a profound appreciation for this enchanting city and its stunning seasonal transformation.

Naramachi||Naramachi is a historic district in the southern part of Nara City, Nara Prefecture (there is no administrative place name "Naramachi"). The streets of Naramachi are narrow and densely populated with houses, including many townhouses that have existed since the Edo period. These row houses cleverly integrate shops and residences and are built on small plots. In the past, Japan levied taxes based on the width of the property's street frontage. In order to avoid high taxes, merchants gave birth to this form of townhouse architecture. Gangoji Temple, one of the seven major temples in Nara, is also located in Naramachi. The original buildings of Gangoji Temple once covered most of the Naramachi area, but over time, Naramachi gradually expanded around the temple. Gangoji Temple also has a special significance in Japanese history: the traditional Japanese summer festival-Ullambana Festival, originated from Gangoji Temple. The buildings on both sides of Naramachi Old Street are mostly decorated with unique decorative plaster or clay walls and wooden lattice windows. Walking in it, it seems to travel through time and space and return to the past. The narrow and long townhouses not only help merchants reduce taxes, but also have strong functionality, good privacy, and high comfort. The design of the courtyard and corridor allows light and air to circulate freely indoors. The lattice house is a perfect reproduction of this kind of traditional townhouse in the old age. Today, most townhouses have been converted into museums, cafes, shops, etc., allowing tourists to appreciate these characteristic designs up close. After visiting Naramachi, tourists can easily walk to Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine for sightseeing.

After the bus from Kyoto to Nara enters the city, when you stop at the parking, the car will broadcast the accompaniment of "Ancient Big Bell", a song that is very memorable! Followed by singing, even if the window began to float a little rain, the mood is also a lot of relief. Put your luggage and walk to Nara-machi next to Kintetsu Station. Many restaurants have been closed at 9:00. Although I was beaten by friends of various places before, I said that the Japanese restaurant was closed early. I didnt expect to encounter it. I finally found a izakaya still open. It felt like I found the New World At 10 o'clock, only the drug store, other shops closed early, and the rainy Nara-cho, but has a different mood.
